Wireless LED
Flasher -- January 9, 2011 |
When you would like to
flash a LED through a thick plastic case without wires, use this hobby circuit. It
performs this feat. It draws about 300ua of average current at 5v. It
can be powered from a supply ranging from 3v to 6v. It uses a low power op Amp as a
pulse generator. A negative going pulse from that generator gates a power
oscillator on for about 20ma. That oscillator is connected to a series
resonant circuit, which drives a small coil. |

Feedback from the coil
insures that the oscillator runs at the LC network’s resonant frequency. A
similar coil, located some distance away, collects some of the magnetic field
produced by the oscillator’s coil and uses it to drive a LED. A separation of
about 1/2 inch is about the limit for this circuit. |
